Your Challenge

Significant resources are required for an organization to leverage solutions to manage governance, risk, and compliance information. However, these efforts to manage the GRC solution are still often less than the efforts required for ad hoc and retroactive management.

GRC solutions can seem overwhelming, and for good reason, as they enable the management of a broad range of operations from risk management to financial controls management.

Depending on your organization size, compliance requirements, and budget, GRC will be an investment. Ensuring your team understands roles and responsibilities prior to implementation will help ease the transition into using this new tool.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

A complete GRC solution is not always required: Everyone needs a firewall, but not a GRC solution. GRC can be a costly investment (i.e. in terms of money, time, and resources). If necessary, affordable alternatives are available.

A GRC solution is one part of the bigger picture: A GRC solution today is for managing GRC, and will not work without proper controls and processes already in place.

Be strategic when deploying modules: Initiate a phased roll-out of modules rather than all of them at once. Focus on your highest priority needs, then gradually introduce new components to prevent boiling the ocean.

Impact and Result

Short-term: Evaluate the players in the GRC marketspace to select the right solution based on your requirements. Avoid common implementation pitfalls and plan for effective system operations and management once your contract has been negotiated and finalized.
